The next time young Bob look- ed up Redtail was so high that he was little more than a speck. Then he began to grow bigger. He was coming down. He didnt come down fast. He came down very slowly. The young quail watching him couldn't believe his own eyes. His "little" bird was becoming I. big bird, and growing bigger and big- ger. In a few moments he had grown in big as Blacky the Crow. whom iyoung Bob knew very well, and who was at that time the biggest of the feathered folk with whom the young quail was acquainted.

Down, and down, and down, came Redtail. And bigger, and bigger and bigger he became. Young Bob became afraid. He forgot that so far no one had been able to get into that wire pen. He crept under the little pile oi brush in one corn- er. Such great wings this visitor from up in the blue. blue sky had! He hadn't dreamed that there was anyone with such big wings. He had thought that the wings of the hens in the neighboring henyard were big. Now they seemed not big at all.

The first time young Bob White ever 'aaw Redtail was when the young quail was a prisoner in a pen in Farmer Brown's dooryard. One vi-Lng had been hurt by a dreadful gun, and young Bob had been lucky enough to be round by Farmer Brown's Boy. In that pen. he was safe. This morning young Bob had chanced to look up in the blue, blue sky just as Redtail the Hawk was directly overhead.

Pensions May Be Major Issue In British Politics g

By RON EVAN! Canadian Press Sh" Writer LONDON (CP)-The question of

increased old age pensions shapes up as a major domestic issue In British politics.

The government has proclaimed that the increases are coming, and that there will be an announce- ment before Christmas. Opposition members are not satisfied, how- ever. and Thursday the Labor sha- dow cabinet announced it will table a motion censuring the gov- ernment for delay.

Deputy oppositim leader Herbert Morrison asked during a debate in the House Monday whether the government was holding up the in- creases to coincide with a general election.

Pensions Minister Osbert Peake denied this. lle said he could prom- ise nothing before Christmas but the government was planning "the biggest and boldest” pension op- eration ever undertaken.

MAY STEAL THUNDER

Some observers today speculate that the opposition may be trying to steal the thunder from the gov- ernment's plan of increases with demands for more speed.

Others say that a full-scale de- bate an pensions within the next two weeks could well swing the sonic: to Labor in the important West Derby by-clcction Nov. 18. A defeat there for the Conservatives. they say, would provide the Social- Ists with ammunition in their fight for a prompt general election.

The next general election must be held before the fall of 1956. Political opinion at the moment appears in favor autumn, 1955, as the likeliest time.
